Rachael Ray Serving Up Secret Political Agenda?!

Posted Oct 30th 2008 12:00PM by TMZ Staff

It looked like an innocent election night cooking guide in the newest Rachael Ray cooking magazine ... but in between the delicious "Bipartisan Salad" and the "Campaign Trail Mix" lies a devious, grassy knoll-like plot that could decide the presidency.

The proof is in the pages of the November edition of Everyday w/ Rachael Ray magazine -- in a political party food photo spread that was supposed to be impartial -- but it's not -- and we can prove it!!!

1) The first page of the spread contains two buttons -- the text on the Obama pin is perfectly readable, on the McCain button, John's name is cut off!

2) There are two cups bearing political stickers on the second page of the spread -- the Obama sticker is clearly readable, complete with a link to his website; the McCain cup is turned, so only the letters "McCa" are legible PLUS his website is blurred out of focus.

3) There are two more buttons on page three of the spread! They are both partially cut out of frame ...BUT the Obama pin is clearly identifiable; the way the light hits the McCain button, it's impossible to read.

Coincidence?!!?!?!?!?!!? WE THINK NOT!!!

31. First of all - I doubt very much that Rachel Ray had anything to do with this ad anymore than having the photo's stuck in front of her face and being asked, "Is this OK? Should we run with it?" Since she was more likely to be concentrating on the food presentation rather than which candidate's name was more prominent in the ad - this is clearly an unjustified accusation. It is far more likely that the creative team responsible for creating the photo session and layout are guiltly of a political bias.

TMZ Get a brain instead of latching on any minutia as an opportunity to spit bile and venom at whatever personality's success you are jealous of at the moment.

Grow up.

33. I will be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad when November 5 arrives and this whole ugly mess is over. This please shut up if you don't agree with me campaign has been painful. The Celebrities who live in this country have a right to their opion and just because it differs from someone else's does not make them an idiot or a BIG mouth.

I wish some of the bloggers who post here would SHUT UP!!!!!!

Obama/Biden or McCain/Palin......I just want this election over. It's bought out the worse in people and the worse people.

34. Okay, I gotta say that i would embrace a 1st black president. If he didn't have such a scary past like Obama does! 2nd Obama is not black and he is not white! Everyone knows his mother was 100% white and dad was black from Kenya. My question is why does everyone keep calling him the 1st to be black president? Obama is Bi Racial ....So if everyone is into stating race. Why not call it as is really is? Our soon to be 1st Bi-Racial president! Anyway i'm not voting for him! Doesn't matter his color cause that man is gonna break this country! He is gonna make us weak and wide open to terrorist. McCain and Palin has my vote!

38. I am so sick of celeberties using every chance they get to push their political beliefs on everyone. Of course they are all liberals they have alot of money. well did ever occur to them that the average joe does make the money they do and we don't have any to spare for other people who choose not to work (in some cases). I also as a mother do not appreciate making a political party a trend they play on the younge voters and I think its terrible they need to stop and think if we stopped going to the movies and boycotted them maybe they would be in the same financial bracket as the majority of americans and fell differently

41. Go Ray!!! I think I will subscribe to your magazine and watch your show more. Its her magazine,she can do what she wants. Obama ist the real hope and change this country needs. Move on from the dark cloud that has been over us for 8 years and McCain was a part of it.

thank you NOWAY--could not have said it better myself! i myself happen to a white woman married to a black man with three beautiful bi-racial children. i dont want someone saying my children are black or white. i keep telling my husband everyone keeps conveniently forgetting that his mother is WHITE!!! my husband has NEVER given any attention to a presidential raec (and he is 37 but just not interested in politics) until now and the only reason, in my humble opion--and i have known him 15 years now--he is all on obamas jock ONLY because he is "black". so flip the coin, black people whine whites wont vote for him just because he is black, but hell, blacks are voting for him just because he IS black. when i ask my husband why he is voting for him he says "he makes good decisions"--ha, laugh my ass off. i tell him its just like him wanting black quarterbacks and head coaches to win--its just because they are black, not because he likes the team, per se. i cant wait for this freaking thing to be over and i hope against hope mccain/palin win, not because i think they are any better, just not as bad.

45. WOW, you guys nitpick everything. They are just trying to get the word out to go and VOTE! I think by now most of the american public has their mind made up either way.
